392 L. Messerschmidt, _The Hittites_ (London, 1903), pp. 49 _sq._ On an Assyrian cylinder, now in the British Museum, we see a warlike deity with bow and arrows standing on a lion, and wearing a similar bonnet decorated with horns and surmounted by a star or sun. See De Vogüé, _Mélanges d’Archéologie Orientale_ (Paris, 1868), p. 46, who interprets the deity as the great Asiatic goddess. As to the horned god of Ibreez “it is a plausible theory that the horns may, in this case, be analogous to the Assyrian emblem of divinity. The sculpture is late and its style rather suggests Semitic influence” (Professor J. Garstang, in some MS. notes with which he has kindly furnished me). 393 See below, p. 132. _ 394 Spirits of the Corn and of the Wild_, i. 16 _sq._, ii. 3 _sqq._ M94 The god of Ibreez a Hittite deity. 395 The identification is accepted by E. Meyer (_Geschichte des Altertums_,2 i. 2. p. 641), G. Perrot et Ch. Chipiez (_Histoire de l’Art dans l’Antiquité_, iv. 727), and P. Jensen (_Hittiter und Armenier_, Strasburg, 1898, p. 145). 396 Ramsay and Hogarth, “Pre-Hellenic Monuments of Cappadocia,” _Recueil de Travaux relatifs à la Philologie et à l’Archéologie Égyptiennes et Assyriennes_, xiv.
